With nodes just 7 nanometres (nm) wide, the world’s newest generation of smartphone chips will help phones run faster, save more power, and have a higher resolution screen and camera, compared to the 10nm processors available right now.

They are costly and difficult to produce, which is why industry experts predicted last year that Apple and Samsung were likely to be the only two manufacturers in the world to launch 7 nm chips in their newest phones this year.
